Default HONDA GURU"S- PLEASE HELP! 93 Civic Coup Turbo

So heres the deal, my brother-in-law shows up at my door and says you need to get at car for work. (basic enough, im tired of driving your a$$.)

I've had the car for 3 days now and this is what i know.
-Turbonetics t3 pushin about 8psi
-new d16 block,
-i think original ex head
-blitz blow off
-internal waste gate (no down pipe)
-raceing clutch
-jdm front lights

the downs are
-some cancer bondo marks -not too bad.
-wireing is GHEETTOOO- lights barely works-thats about all that works
-3rd grinds sometimes

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE SOME TIPS OR POINTERS TO KEEP MY CAR RUNNING STRONG; IMa SUPER NOOB when it comes to rides soo anything will help. MAINTAINING?, CLEANING?, ADDING ADDITION PARTS?

and if anyone could point me in a good direction to get my wireing back to stock it would save my life...from cops.

THANKS AGIAN HONDA PRO's

I WILL ADD PICTURES ASAP.

The input bearing in my D16Y7 transmission went, and it was going to cost between $900-$1300 to repair.

Instead, I visited Tiger Japanese and picked up a shorter-ratio D15B transmission for $150. I recommend you do the same with your local JDM importer to fix your grinding issue. Not only does my can run absolutely mint (I also replaced then clutch while it was all apart), but its quicker when accelerating as well!

honestly if it will take you more than two days to completely fix all your wiring issues, just buy a new wiring harness. it'll be simpler and will save you some trouble. although that can get expensive. find someone with access to alldata/mitchell, and get wiring diagrams, and try and clean it up. hell try for a wire tuck. those look really badass.
